Extraordinary
'All About' book from the
Studio
Bent Stuff team, remarkably
thourough and in-depth given
how early it came out.
Covers every character in
extreme detail with screenshots
& data for every move,
win poses and endings; examines
game system, gives extensive
'Vs 2P Battle' and 'Vs CPU'
tactics, presents recommended
'Original Combo' attacks with
data for every combination,
and finishes off with design
sketches, staff interview,
and colour fold-out command
list.

Official
'Remix' CD single, featuring
7 housed-up tracks from the
main OST.
Sounds interesting, but unfortunately
it isn't: the beats are awful
and each mix is an earsore...
like some amateurish computerised
oldskool jungle nightmare.

for tracklisting.

The
PS Zero 2 plays superbly,
and can only be criticised
for a minimal loss in detail:
the intro is a blurry movie,
and the larger characters
are missing a little animation.
Content includes a trailer
movie for Breath
of Fire III (1997).

Quality
pocket-sized guide book released
on the same day as the PS
version.
Features all of the essentials:
profiles, complete illustrated
move lists, versus features,
and some great combo suggestions,
too.

Just
to prove that they don't do
things by halves, Gamest dish
out two different Gamest
Mook 'EX Series' guides
for the home versions of Zero
2. This one covers all
the ins and outs of the the
PS version.

The
SS Zero 2 is so good, it's
almost worth owning a Saturn
for.
Everything is here: all of
the arcade's animation frames,
the original intro, and a
Saturn-exclusive 'Illustration'
gallery with over 100 hi-res
images. Nice.

Diminutive
pocket-sized guide book for
all versions, courtesy of
those good folks at Famitsu.
Perfect if you are just looking
for the basics: character
art, profiles, and move lists.
Also includes a small 'background
art' sketch gallery.

High-quality
'Certain Victory Capture Method'
guide from Futabasha, a 'Hybrid'
release that covers both the
PS and SS versions.
Features an introduction to
the game's system, layout,
and various modes; followed
by massive 10-page sections
dedicated to each character.

The
guides just keep on coming
for Zero 2... Good
thing they keep getting better
and better!
This high-quality 'Master
File' goes super in-depth:
it features no less than 177
pages of tactics, character
profiles, art, staff interviews,
and more.

It
might be a far cry from what
the game is all about, yet
Capcom did quite well in bringing
Zero 2 to the SFC, cramming
the bulk of the game into
a 32MBit cartridge.
Full marks for effort, given
the circumstances.

Instead
of re-pressing the standard
PS Zero 2, Capcom go for broke
and reprint the 'Zero 2 Dash'
disc from the 'Street Fighter
Collection'.
Interestingly, it has since
become harder to find than
the 'Collection' pack!
